Q. Were you on duty on Thursday night?
A. I was.
Q. State whether there was any disturbance about the round-house on that night.
A. There was none about the round-house at all. The only disturbances there were, took place out on the track, about Twenty-eighth street.
Q. What kind of a disturbance was it?
A. The railroad men and the others were combined—but they were not doing anything, except standing there in groups.
Q. During the night was the crowd noisy and boisterous?
A. Somewhat.
Q. You were in sight of them?
A. I was among them nearly all the time. On Thursday night, between eight and nine o'clock, I attempted to get out an engine to haul some stock, and I thought it was useless to attempt it without first seeing whether they would allow us to haul it. Mr. Watt told me in the office that they would allow us to haul the stock; but when I got among them they didn't seem very favorable to allowing it. So we talked to them some time, and at last they agreed that we could haul the stock. I brought the engine out myself; but before I could get her across Twenty-eighth street four or five hundred called out to me and hallowed—called out to me to take her back; but I got her across Twenty-eighth street, and, after talking to them, they got quiet, and agreed that I could haul the stock, provided a committee could go on the engine to see that we would not haul anything else. I then got two engineers, one to fire the engine, and one to run it, and they took the stock up that night; but a little later in the night a Pan Handle train came along, and that raised a terrible howl there about the stock, and they cut the engine loose; but at last they let the stock go as far as Lawrenceville, and then we got an engine to haul it away. In fact, they went along on the train.
